Her repertoire is quite diverse spreading from Baroque opera to contemporary creations without leaving out work by Mozart, Rossini, Weber, Poulenc, etc. Her musical curiosity leads her to perform variety songs in a show called ” La Folle Soirée ” (A crazy evening), with the participation of Nathalie Steinberg (piano) and Sylvie Ottin (production).
